New Range of Sewing Patterns - The Makers Journal

Sunspun is now stocking a range of sewing patterns by The Makers Journal. These patterns are designed by two local designers and are gorgeous!
The patterns retail for $20.00 each and include very clear instructions. They are also packaged beautifully. The Bunny Bag would make a great gift if you are looking for a handmade gift for someone special - especially if you fill it with goodies - perhaps a ball of yarn or even some chocolates!

The Makers Journal team also have a blog to check out:

New Shop Sample - Maple by Marie Wallin

Sue has finished a new shop sample. This one is Maple by Marie Wallin and is from Rowan Magazine 50 ($35.00). This pattern celebrates the return of beautiful fairisle patterns - the front and back are fairisle, the sleeves are striped.
The cardigan is knitted in Rowan Felted Tweed ($11.95 per ball), the colours are not quite as bright in real life as they appear in the magazine photos but they still look gorgeous!




There are 5 sizes in the pattern ranging from 32inches/81cms to 50inches/127cms. The smallest size takes 11 balls, the largest takes 16 balls.
Enjoy!
